Default Fourth of July

What is everyone drinking for July 4th. We were planning a cellar
emptier of older zindfandels and Syrahs but the fires have prevented
the big barbecue planned. Much smaller party anticipated. Will bring
in barbecue instead of making it ourselves.

I've got a bottle of 1999 Turley Hayne Vineyard Petite Syrah I'm
planning to open and a few older Oregon Pinot Noir from Domaine
Drouhin.

As I've aged (and my wines haven't had the opportunity) I find myself
going lighter in the hot months. Probable quaffs for Independence Day
in super-heated Texas will be chilled Rose (got some very pleasant
pinot grigio/gris pinks around) or Sauvignon Blanc (currently working
through a very nice Twoomey Vineyard SB).

If I need or want red, I'll opt for a chilled Beaujolais.

Anticipate something cool on the plate as well. Very likely a shrimp
Louis on romaine. Otherwise, SWMBO returned from a recent Whole Foods
excursion with some Pacific coast salmon and baramundi. The salmon
cold, the Oz perch probably sauted with a butter reduction.

It's only July 1 and 100-degrees is already getting old.

We have decided on 3 Turley vineyard designations Rattlesnake, Haye,
and, Whitney all from 2001. Also will be trying some 2007 Turley Petit
Syrah as all of us have 3 bottles of this. Barbecue was just too big
for Roses though we are starting with Rose of Cabernet Franc first.
Sparklers are to be brought for dessert but all surprise.
